We're building an Excel Addin (XLL) for Lloyds TSB which allows further addin functionality to be written as managed code (e.g. in C#).

This project is being run on a "time and materials" basis from our Guildford office and we've negotiated to keep the IP rights of the underlying managed XLL shell for possible later resale or use in a product.

Len is working with CSFB's HYDRA team to design and develop a trade events server for them in C++ on Windows.

The whole development is being developed in a Test Driven Development style and the server will reduce load on downstream systems by caching results from market data servers, perfoming trade enrichment only when data changes.
